    Abstract:

    Adult learners often gain valuable skills through a wide range of experiences: at school, on the job, in self-paced online learning, through caregiving or volunteer work, in the military, and more. But traditional job application tools like resumes don't always reflect the full scope of what someone knows and can do. This webinar explores how digital tools like credentials and digital wallets can help learners track and present their skills more clearly and confidently as they navigate education and career pathways.
